RESUMO
Antitumor activity of Trypanosoma cruzi CH4 strain isolated in Mexico was studied. This parasite is not tumoritropic, but inhibits the growth and metastasizing of solid L5178Y-R lymphoma transplanted to Balb/C mice. Conditioned medium from cell cultures infected with this strain produced a cytostatic effect. Possible mechanisms of this phenomenon are discussed.
